Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Liquore di Chinotto by Quaglia offers a refined and structured sensory experience. Displaying a vibrant dark amber colour, this Italian liqueur, produced via static infusion, strikes a perfect balance between sweetness and a gentle bitterness. Aromas of vanilla and rhubarb lead into a bittersweet citrus palate, where elegant hints of dandelion and orange blossom add further depth. With an alcohol content of 35% ABV, it delivers a long, persistent finish, making it an ideal chilled digestif or a sophisticated cocktail ingredient to pair with fine chocolate and creamy desserts.
Where does it come from?
Crafted in Piedmont, this spirit showcases the artisanal skill of Quaglia. Its signature ingredient is fresh Ligurian Riviera Chinotto, which is meticulously hand-processed immediately after harvest to preserve its aromatic integrity. This connection between regional distilling expertise and premium coastal citrus results in a character defined by natural ingredients. The result is a structured profile where intense citrus essential oils meet a carefully calibrated sweetness, ensuring a clean and complex flavour profile.
How is it produced?
The production process begins with a delicate static alcohol infusion of freshly harvested fruit, gently extracting the natural juices and aromatic compounds. Following extraction and pressing, the liquid is left to rest in neutral containers for over six months. This extended maturation allows the profile to fully stabilise without external aromatic influence. During this period, the vibrant citrus core harmonises with spicy notes and floral undertones. The final spirit offers a balanced tasting experience with a velvety texture and a pleasantly bitter finish.
